Altman’s remarks in his tweet drew an overwhelmingly negative reaction.
“You’re welcome,” one user responded. “Nice to know that our reward is our jobs being taken away.”
Others called him a “f***ing psychopath” and “scum.”
“Nothing says ‘you’re being replaced’ quite like a heartfelt thank you from the guy doing the replacing,” one user wrote.
everyone using ai says some variation of this
acting like they do proper code review on this ai gen code but we’ve had so many examples of how people well before ai carried massive tech debt and cut corners so I have zero faith
much less the numerous examples of slop laden bugs making it to live with major companies in the us
ai just amplifies and obfuscates the problem
You do you I guess. AI slop can suck a dick and we’ve fired people for less.
AI causes problems, AI can amplify problems, but AI can legitimately assist, too.
imagine instead of ai it was your compiler
we all know they can have weird quirks but imagine the fail rates were like we are experiencing with current ai
would people keep these tools in their work flow?
if big business wasn’t so hard on to cut labor the answer would be a hard no
Its because your perspectives clash. They are saying the problems you have are caused by people behaving poorly, and you are saying its because the AI is inherently flawed.
They do have a point, if I were to pick up a hammer and throw it through a window, I can’t really blame the hammer for the broken window.
I do think we have to hold each other to some higher moral standard where we put people above profit, which would reduce a lot of abuse. Its astonishing that so many programmers would justify AI use knowing it may be causing harm to many others in their field.
except using your metaphor, everyone using the hammer has the same problems, and it is using said hammer as advertised, regardless of what we all know should be best practices
there have been multiple big fuck ups now and i think the reason why matters less than the fact the cause will not improve any time soon
